The government must invest more in tackling climate change

As leaders of philanthropic foundations, we are asking governments of all levels to invest in short- and long-term recovery efforts that are green, clean, resilient, and just for all. We only have one Earth and we only have one recovery: This is our chance to tackle climate change.
